If you really want to sound stupid, argue against wearing a seat belt.

Whether or not they should be writing you tickets for not wearing one is a whole 'nother matter, but if you don't wear a seat belt, you're an idiot.

jesus Chuck, why so harsh? i ALWAYS wear my seatbelt, in case you didnt know, i was in a wreck Nov 14th of 1996, with a person who decided to drag race in the rain... we hit the wall, a 15 foot Granite and Basalt wall, at an estimated 130+ MPH by the WSP on SR900 in Renton...i put my seatbelt on about 5 seconds before we hit...i always wear it, i just forgot due to alot of sh!t on my mind... its nothing to do with lazy... and, after the fiasco last year Koke fishing, i always wear a PFD now, regardless of what someone else thinks of how i look...

now that i think about this, its actually rather funny...wonder if i should wear a pin stripe, or just jeans... havent been to court in 10 years, kinda weird...

Your best bet is to get a note from your doctor stating that wearing a seatbelt is aggrivating the herpes rash that Abu gave you his last night here in town.

Chances are, if the judge is a male, he knows Aboo and will toss it out.

You know what I do when I make a mistake, bwp? I own it, and I don't start looking for some reason why it wasn't my fault.

I find it helps me keep from f.ucking up all the time.

Legal Advice.....

1. Stop trying to bullsh!t us and start wearing your seatbelt.

2. Pay your Stupid Tax.

3. Be grateful for the free legal advice and move on.

Chuck, i wasnt driving... i was the passenger... i fVckin forgot for litterally a minute or maybe even 2.... when i am driving, i put me belt on just like you do.... i dont have any problem owning up to anything.. you know my name, run it through Washington Courts Search, and you will see my vast criminal record....

what i do have a problem with, is the situation of how and why we were stopped...and the fact that i didnt see him, and he appeared right behind us, in a private parking lot... if he was sitting in the bank, while i pulled in and passed him, (how he could have seen that i didnt have a belt on, and i didnt see him is beyond me) i wasnt on the road when he pulled us over.... cops can do what they want yes, but other people in this thread have stated the parking lot situation just like i have...


fVck it, im going to court... ill wear the pin stripe suit, and the Ness 1980s era Hawks hat, both the earrings in, and JUST BE ME.... theres a reason ive never been to jail, or really in trouble in general, and thats because im ME..

thanks everyone, this was interesting to say the least...

And you've been wrong HOW many times?

I mean.......really.



Loved it!!

+1000

Recently I got a speeding ticket with my 12 Y.O. grandson in the car. I was polite to the officer, accepted the ticket graciously and went on with my day.

As I explained to the grandson, when you break the rules there are consequences.

Quit yer belleyaching, man up, pay it, and move on.

If you work, you can choose night court so you don't have to take vacation time.
My advice is mostly the same already stated. When in court, dress appropriately and be respectful.
If the ticket amount is difficult to pay, tell the judge that. Don't make excuses. Tell your "I simply forgot" story, then shut up.
You'll be glad you did. Good Luck.

It would cost me more to miss a half day of work if I were to go to court than it would to just pay the ticket. I got a speeding ticket by one of those cameras, could have done the whole "prove it was me driving the car" thing to get it reduced, but I was guilty so I just paid the ticket.

Redhook,

You started this stupid thread and continue making stupid posts in it. That pretty well clinches it that you're stupid.

Grow up, and like others said, own it, take your medicine, and move on.

I have to disagree, Redhook has not and will not learn. He just wants to rant and does not listen, experience does not seem to teach him anything. I think he is KingFevers sockpuppet and belongs with the others over at the FishCan.

Once.

But that was a long f'n time ago.

That'll teach him!
Tried to own something that wasn't.
WTG, Danny!

since when does forgetting something for a second, and being upset about a rather large ticket for something stupid, equate to me never learning, or wont, or cant? appearently some of you dont wont or cant learn either...

1, i asked for no stupid comments

2, i said i ALWAYS wear my seatbelt, i just forgot...

3, that is my ONLY traffic ticket in the last 10+ years, probably more like 12+ as i cant even remember the last time i was even pulled over...

i went to another lake today, seat belt worn just like always, even with thinking about a bunch of other crap... now, i highly HIGHLY doubt that the people bashing me, have NEVER forgot something, went 2 miles over the speed limit (which is illegal you know), went through a yellow light, not fully stopped at a stop sign, or anything of the sort... so dont act like your all high and mighty...i made the mistake, but the price is rather absurd, and upset me,.... there something wrong with that? you all always happy with everything that gets dished your way?

and as far as me learning, you know nothing about me, ive forgot more than i already know, and learn something new every single day... just because you cant read and interpret things correctly, is not my problem...

to the others, thanks for the help, i think i will go to court and explain what happened, and say it will not happen again, and like i said before, just be myself, because people like me, maybe not on here, but i dont really care about that... i have plenty of friends that will tell you otherwise....

and dont ever mention me and KF in the same sentence again...

Sounds like you're all bucked up and ready to tell the judge where the bear shitz in the buckwheat.



























I'm throwin' down on full fine plus 6 months in the FishCan.

wanna bet on that ?

it says right on the ticket: "This is a non criminal offense for which you cannot go to jail"..

i know how to talk to people, i know how to be respectfull and talk tactfully and with couth... i learned that working for my dad talking to home owners that are worth more than any person i knows family combined... like the CFO of Microsoft

all i have to do is talk to the judge, the exact same way, and i will be just fine... also, my long, vast criminal history, should help that out quite a bit too...

thanks for making me laugh tho guys, that ticket pissed me off price wise, now, its actually pretty funny, im not worried one bit...

I'm just pullin' yer chain

Seriously, good luck.

Hell, you could throw in one of those toddler jumper seats for effect.
Better know how to rig it though, or you'll get another ticket.

this should actually be pretty easy, as ive never once gotten in trouble in Pierce County, my tickets and other crap was all out of King County, with the exception of 1 in Grant County... in my 33 years on this earth, i think ive gotten like 4 tickets... 1 of which was a 186 dollar ticket that i got cut down to 50 just because i know how to talk to people ...

its all good DD, i was just flippin ya sh!t, but if i go to jail for 6 months for forgetting to put on my belt for 1 minute.... all i gotta say is, if you think i ranted here, just wait for that post if that happens
